What's UniSysCat all about?

Prof. Renske M. van der Veen holds now a joint W2-S professorship with the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin at TUB in the Institute of Optics and Atomic Physics heading the field of "Dynamics in Light Energy Conversion".

The team of UniSysCat group leader Martin Oestreich developed a new synthesis route relevant for the sustainable methylation of aromatic compounds

Two joint works of 3 Unisyscat groups show the vital role of sulfur: non-innocence in the catalytic reduction of dioxygen to hydrogen peroxide & in mimicking the reactivity of ribonucleotide reductases

Four UniSysCat groups deciphered the multistep incorporation process of the catalytic NiFe(CN)2(CO) cofactor into [NiFe]-hydrogenase, paving the way for chemical reconstitution of this biocatalyst.

Understanding how drugs bind to their target is very helpful for drug development. UniSysCat researchers Sohraby and Nunes Alves reviewed the latest computational methods for predicting the kinetics of binding mechanisms.

UniSysCat researchers reveal a unique mechanism by which an NAD+-reducing [NiFe] hydrogenase becomes more oxygen tolerant, which is of interest for hydrogen energy strategies and regenerating nucleotide cofactors.

Neuroscientists are looking for accurate sensors to image nerve signals in tissue, particularly the brain. UniSysCat researchers now shed light on the voltage-sensing mechanism of the fluorescence of microbial rhodopsins.

From brain research to dark matter - five new episodes of the podcast "exzellent erklärt" were released from November 2022 to January 2023.

UniSysCat researcher Maria Andrea Mroginski is convinced: catalysts have enormous potential in the fight against the climate crisis. Elena Matera asked her about her research on catalysts for sustainable energy production.

We welcome Prof. Dr. Serena DeBeer from the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Energy Conversion as a new member of our Scientific Advisory Board (SAB).
